2018 Annual General Meeting addresses
Chairman’s address
Peter Hay
Vicinity Centres
This year, Vicinity Centres’ (Vicinity, ASX:VCX) further reinforced its position as one of Australia’s leading retail property groups, with a flagship portfolio that includes:
-
Australia’s number one retail asset and one of the best assets in the world, Chadstone
-
an unrivalled premium CBD retail presence across Australia’s three largest cities, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, and
-
Australia’s number one Outlet Centre portfolio, with the DFOs.
Delivering on strategy
Since the merger in 2015 our focus on building a resilient portfolio of assets and our active capital recycling program, has driven a significant transformation of our business.
And our success is evident in the numbers:
-
average asset values have grown by over 70%
-
we have reduced gearing by 160 basis points, and following our recent non-core asset sales announced last month it now sits even lower than this
-
net tangible asset backing is up 21%
-
the average productivity of our specialty stores has increased 25% to over $10,500 per square metre, while
-
occupancy costs for specialty retailers have fallen, and
-
our centres remain effectively full, with an average occupancy rate of 99.5%.
Roadmap for stronger and more sustainable growth
While our success to date has been pleasing, we have a clear strategy to drive stronger and more sustainable growth.
Over the past three years we have sold interests in 35 retail assets for $2.5 billion and reinvested those proceeds into value accretive developments, acquisitions, and a securities buy-back.
This year, we announced two major strategic initiatives – a divestment program of up to $1 billion of noncore assets and the proposed establishment of a new $1 billion wholesale fund. Grant will give you an update on these shortly.

Sustainability
We believe sustainability is key to value creation over the long term.
This year, Vicinity was named third most sustainable real estate company globally in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
Our recent sustainability achievements include:
-
reducing the carbon intensity of the portfolio by 16% over the past three years
-
significantly improving waste management practices. We now divert 43% of waste away from landfill, providing both environmental and increasingly financial benefits, and
-
working with Beacon Foundation to address youth disengagement and unemployment, particularly in our communities.
This year we also launched our first reconciliation action plan to foster a more inclusive relationship with indigenous Australians.
And I am pleased to report that last month, Vicinity was named the number one Australian company in the 2018 Forbes survey of the world’s best employers. This is an annual review of around 2,000 corporations.
I will now hand you to Grant, thank you.
[The Chairman’s address continues following the CEO and Managing Director’s address.]
CEO and Managing Director’s address
Grant Kelley
Thank you Chairman and good morning everyone.
I would also like to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land on which we meet, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present.
By way of background, one of the reasons I decided to join Vicinity was the potential I saw for significant value creation for securityholders, our retail partners, and the communities in which we operate.
Today, I am going to talk about how we are capturing that value, and why we’ve developed a new strategy to transform the business.
To begin, the challenges to shopping centres today are not just about the growth of online players like Amazon. There are many other trends, both macro and micro, which mean we must adapt to stay relevant to how Australians are now living their lives. Our population is ageing, people are moving closer to transport hubs, and more people than ever are now living in high rise.
Australians increasingly want destinations where they can go to meet friends, be entertained, eat and drink, and experience new products and services.
Destination centres with an emphasis on food, leisure and entertainment like Chadstone here in Melbourne, and Queen Victoria Building in Sydney, are therefore strategically well positioned to meet these evolving customer needs.

Today I will go through our results for the year, and share our strategy to capture value in the new shopping centre environment.
FY18 financial results
For the 2018 financial year, Vicinity delivered a net profit of over $1.2 billion, consisting of $708 million of funds from operations (FFO), and approximately $550 million in valuation gains.
Our key earnings measure, FFO per security, was 18.2 cents, an increase of 2.2% on a comparable basis. This result was assisted by the efficiencies which we continued to drive across our business, which reduced net corporate overheads by 2.1% during the year.
FY18 financial position
Our balance sheet remains strong.
Net valuation gains drove a 5.3% increase in net tangible assets per security to $2.97, and contributed to an 11.1% annual total return. Although these valuation gains were partly offset by divestments, the overall value of Vicinity’s directly owned portfolio increased by approximately $850 million, to $16.6 billion.
At June 2018, gearing was a healthy 26.4%, at the lower end of our target range of 25-35%.
Sydney premium asset swap provides Vicinity with an unrivalled premium CBD retail offer
One of the highlights of the past year was the acquisition in April of a 50% interest in three premium Sydney CBD assets – Queen Victoria Building, The Galeries and The Strand Arcade – which were purchased from Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund, GIC, in exchange for a 49% interest in Chatswood Chase Sydney.
This was a transformational deal for Vicinity, providing us with an unrivalled premium CBD retail platform across Australia’s three largest cities.
The Sydney CBD centres perform at very high levels of sales productivity, with about 60 million people visiting them each year.
The centres will also benefit from the new light rail and metro lines currently under construction in Sydney. We have identified a number of areas where we can create additional value over time. And since acquisition, we have already achieved an 8.5% gain in asset value, which equates to 3.1% net of acquisition costs.
Let me now discuss our strategy in more detail.
3 of 7
==> picture [76 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
Vicinity’s strategy
In August, we announced a strategy based on three profit drivers:
-
Focusing our directly owned portfolio on market-leading destinations
-
Realising mixed-use opportunities across the portfolio, and
-
Expanding our wholesale funds platform.
First and foremost, our 50 market-leading destination centres are not only highly productive, but also contain major rental growth potential, with additional growth also achievable through our proven leasing and shopping centre management teams. Eight of these 50 assets are also earmarked for our near-term development pipeline.
Second, mixed-use is a significant opportunity for Vicinity. As cities become denser, and pressure on infrastructure increases, well-located retail assets, particularly those close to transport hubs, will be required to broaden their scope beyond just retail.
The value which mixed-use represents to Vicinity is significant, as it is not reflected in the value of our assets today, which are valued based on retail income only.
Finally, our wholesale funds business will become strategically important in the coming years by providing access to new capital sources. Our strong track record over many years provides an ideal launching pad from which to expand the business.
Three strategic initiatives announced in 2018
To drive this strategy, we have taken three important actions over the past several months.
-
First, a divestment program of up to $1 billion of non-core assets was announced in June, on which we have already made good progress. In early October, almost three months ahead of our targeted completion date, we announced the sale of 11 of those assets for $631 million. Discussions on the remaining assets are progressing well.
-
Second, we have identified 12 mixed-use projects across the portfolio, representing approximately $1 billion of potential value upside. I will expand on one of our key mixed-use projects, Box Hill, later in my remarks.
-
And finally, the proposed establishment of a $1 billion wholesale fund in a joint-venture with Keppel Capital will help Vicinity access substantial offshore capital partners, with whom we can build long-term relationships, enhancing the fee stream from our wholesale funds business.
Market-leading destinations
The market-leading destination strategy will, we believe, genuinely transform Vicinity.
The portfolio will consist of 50 market-leading destination centres, trading on average at approximately $11,000 per square meter in specialty sales, at a 15% occupancy cost.
Our flagship centres - being Chadstone, our premium CBD centres, and our DFO outlet centres - comprise approximately half of this portfolio and are well-positioned today, with strong growth potential.
The balance of the portfolio, comprising mainly Regional and Sub Regional centres, also has significant growth potential, with many assets having development, remixing or mixed-use opportunities.
4 of 7
==> picture [76 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
September 2018 sales performance
Our September 2018 performance reinforces this strategy. During the quarter, and adjusting for the sale of the 11 non-core centres, specialty store moving annual turnover (or MAT) per square metre increased 3.9% to slightly over $10,500.
Sales growth for the total portfolio for the 12 months to September 2018 was 1.9%, up from 1.2% at June 2018. For the specialty store and mini major categories combined, shown in blue on the chart here, growth was 2.1% for the current period, compared to 1.6% growth in the three months to June. Dissecting this further, for our destination portfolio of 50 assets, these growth figures improved to 2.6% in September, up from 2.2% in June.
Pleasingly, services, leisure and food catering continued to show strong growth, categories to which we continue to re-weight the portfolio.
Completed development - Mandurah Forum, WA
In March, we completed a major redevelopment of Mandurah Forum, south of Perth in WA.
This asset has been transformed into a modern regional centre, with a new format David Jones, and an upgraded Kmart, and includes the addition of high profile retailers such as H&M and Mecca.
The asset is well-positioned to take advantage of the signs of recovery we are now seeing in the WA economy.
Completed development - DFO Perth, WA
Also in WA, last month we added another asset to our highly successful outlet centre portfolio, with the opening of Perth’s first DFO.
All 113 retailers were open on day one, with many exceeding their initial month’s sales target within the first fortnight. In total, more than 240,000 people have visited Perth DFO in the first three weeks. The project is on track to deliver a stabilised development yield of over 11%, and a total return of over 16%.
Current development - The Glen, VIC
Moving to Melbourne, and last week we opened stage three of our major redevelopment of The Glen, comprising international fashion retailers such as H&M and UNIQLO, together with more than 80 specialty retailers. More than 120,000 customers visited the centre in the four days following the opening.
The next stage will include a new-format David Jones, and a high-quality entertainment and leisure precinct, opening in late 2019. The retail project remains on track to complete by 2020, while residential developer Golden Age will build more than 500 apartments on site by 2021.
Current development - Chadstone Hotel, VIC
The evolution of Chadstone, Australia’s number one retail asset, continues, with construction work for the new on-site hotel tracking to schedule.
This 250-room ‘MGallery by Sofitel’ will help drive sales at Chadstone, with significant ‘shopping tourism’ expected from Asia, together with business and conference guests attracted to the nearby Monash health and education precinct.
5 of 7
==> picture [76 x 84] intentionally omitted <==
Inside Chadstone, the $50 million redevelopment of the atrium is progressing well. It will include expanded dining options, youth fashion and sporting goods stores, and the addition of Australia’s first full-line Victoria’s Secret store, which will be open in time for Christmas.
Mixed-use project - Box Hill Central, VIC
As mentioned earlier, a key driver of our strategy is mixed-use development. And we have a very promising opportunity emerging at Box Hill. Both State and Local governments have been supportive of our proposal to undertake a full redevelopment of the centre and surrounding precinct.
With rail, bus and tram connections integrated in to the retail centre, including a railway platform directly beneath the food court, we are indeed in a unique position.
The extensive residential and commercial development underway around the centre indicates a potential to add over 300,000 square metres of non-retail space to the site, in addition to a significant retail expansion.
Leveraging digital to reinforce physical presence
As we shift our business to market-leading destinations, digital will play a vital role.
Vicinity’s team of data scientists is harnessing Wi-Fi data analytics from across our entire portfolio, which over the past year identified more than 12 million unique devices on our network.
The data captured provides insights to better tailor our retail mix to consumer preferences, providing our retailers with rich information to assist in driving sales.
Integrated energy strategy generating significant benefits
Finally, we have committed $73 million of investment to solar energy, the largest investment by any shopping centre owner in Australia, over two stages, and across 22 centres.
This includes roof-top solar, using solar panels as car-park shading, and the installation of an Australian shopping centre first, a 550 kilowatt hour battery at Castle Plaza in South Australia.
Solar will generate up to 40% of the energy requirements of these centres, reducing our exposure to volatile energy markets, and is forecast to deliver a 12% return on capital invested. Importantly, it also helps Vicinity move towards a lower carbon footprint.
Vicinity’s strategy
In closing, could I do two things:
-
first, to leave you with our strategy framework – destination assets, mixed-use and wholesale – which I am sure we will return to in Q+A, and
-
secondly, I would like to reaffirm that all of us at Vicinity will continue to work hard on your behalf, to deliver strong and sustainable growth.
It is a tremendous privilege, for me personally, to lead such a great team, all of whom are dedicated to our retail partners, our customers, our community, and most importantly, to you, our securityholders.

Chairman’s address (continued)
Peter Hay
FY18 and September 2018 quarter in review
In summary, Vicinity delivered solid results in FY18 and we have set a clear strategy that positions us well to continue to drive strong and sustainable growth.
We have already made substantial inroads to execute on this strategy, with:
-
the divestment of 11 non-core assets
-
delivering major development milestones at Mandurah, DFO Perth and The Glen, while also
-
continuing to reweight our centres’ offers towards higher demand categories.
And the benefits of this strategy are reflected in our improving sales and portfolio metrics.
We have also established a roadmap for future value creation and growth opportunities, in the form of:
-
significant mixed-use additions to our assets
-
a large retail development pipeline
-
buying Vicinity securities at a discount to NTA
-
utilising data and technology to derive meaningful insights and create operational efficiencies, and
-
the proposed expansion of our funds management platform.
All of which is supported by a globally recognised integrated sustainability program.
FY19 guidance reiterated From an economic perspective we expect retail conditions to remain challenging over FY19.
Vicinity’s FFO guidance for FY19 remains 18.0 to 18.2 cents per security[1] , reflecting comparable growth of 3.4% to 4.6%. The FY19 FFO guidance assumes the completion of $2.0 billion of assets divested from Vicinity’s balance sheet.[2] The distribution payout ratio is expected to be at the upper end of the target range of 95% to 100% of adjusted funds from operations or 85% to 90% of FFO[1] .
